My fill water TA is 30. Right now my TA is sitting at 50 and PH is holding pretty steady at 7.5. I may let it drift to 7.8 if necessary. Thanks for everyone's input!

So my pool is a year old now. I've always used a TF 100 kit. Last year when my TA was 50 my PH would stay balanced. This year in order to get my PH to balance my TA is now 40. I've been adding MA every 2-3 days to keep the PH at 7.5. So should I bump my TA up and keep adding acid or just let it...

I like the update, but now I can't pull up my history. I just get the spinning wheel in the top right corner. Let it sit there for 3-4 min and it never loads. Also when using screenlogic from my PC, it connects, but I get nothing but a black window where I used to have buttons to click and temps...

Haven't been using my water features, we rarely do, even in the summer.

Last summer my pool stayed around 7.5- 7.6 on the PH. It rose to 7.8 over the winter and I left it to keep my CSI in check. Now that its warm in Texas, I've been adding a fair amount of acid trying to keep my PH down. After a couple of days it wanders back up to 7.8 from 7.5. Today's test...

I've already thrown the old reagents away. I use a speed stir with the light and always meticulously clean my tubes. I've been getting steady results for 10 months with no crazy results until today. No scaling at the water line either. I thought you only had to worry about static and wiping the...

I've been using the TF 100 kit for my new pool since June of last year. The reagents I've been using were purchased about 9-10 months ago. I ordered a new refill kit about a month or so ago and just now have started using them as the last set started running out. My CL, TA tested right in my...

A lot of fertilizers have iron in them. Make sure when you fertilize it doesn't get slung into the pool because that'll cause rust spots like you're talking about.

My CSI is usually -.1 to -.2. Is it usually better to be on the positive or negative side? - - - Updated - - - Thanks Kim! My testing hasn’t led me into problems so why should I doubt myself? ��

I’ve been using my TF 100 test kit all summer long. One thing I’ve learned is when my TA stays around 60-70, my PH holds steady. When my TA gets to 80 my PH starts drifting up and I start having to add MA almost daily. I went to the pool store to get some calcium hypochlorite since at my last...

Re: Nature2 Mineral Sanitizer WRC, Like you I have the A&A in floor cleaning system. I love this system ! It keeps our pool spotless and well circulated. Like others have said about the chlorine pucks, you'll regret them after a season and they cause a lot of problems. The 3 main things you...

Re: Hello From Northern California! What does your TA usually run? I find that when my TA gets above 60-70, my PH starts drifting up? Also do you have any fountains or waterfalls? Running them a lot can raise your PH as well.

I just finished my new pool the beginning of June, I researched this site during construction and got a ton of valuable input. I also did the pool school and printed off quick notes. I do all my pool maintenance, so yes, it really is that easy! I spend $50-60 a month on 10% chlorine from...

I've been looking at these. Residential Outdoor TV Enclosures

Thanks for all the reply’s! I’ll talk with my PB and see if he can swing a deal on the price and extending my warranty. I’ve sent him a fair amount of business.
